HC Deb 20 June 1972 vol 839 c65W
Mr. Concannon

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make areas of high population and heavy industry, such as Mansfield, into designated areas for physiotherapists so that they can receive extra allowances to help redress the imbalance of physiotherapists in such places as compared with the rest of the country.

Mr. Alison

There is no provision for inducement payments in the national agreements and in any case objective comparison of establishment needs in different areas would be difficult in the absence of general agreement on staffing standards, referred to in my reply to the hon. Member on 13th June.—[Vol. 838, c.245.]
